DISA has released a STIG for RHEL 7. redhatrises updated an overlay to account for the
final release from DISA of RHEL7 STIG. What additional work, if any, needs to be done to
SSG in order for oscap to be able to scan relative to the final DISA STIG for RHEL 7?
When I clone the github repository, run cmake and examine build/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml, it shows
xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_encrypt_partitions select="true" for profile
*STIG for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server Running GUI*. When I load up the final RHEL7
STIG, I can't find any vulnerability related to unencrypted partitions. Am I missing
the vulnerability in the STIG, or is the SSG adding security checks to the profile?
Thanks,
Chad

DISA decided against following the Vendor STIG process and also chose
not to host DoD consensus meetings on the content they released. As a
result the production readiness of the DISA provided content is largely
unknown. Would wager not having encrypted data at rest is an oversight
in their content (it was specifically recommended by Red Hat and DoD).
There are likely yet-to-be-discovered discrepancies between
configuration rules recommended by DoD + Red Hat vs what DISA published.
Now that DISA has published something, we likely need to restructure our
profiles a bit.
- Rename the existing stig-rhel7-server-upstream profile to DoD Secure
Host Baseline (e.g. shb-rhel7-server), to reflect future DoD CIO strategy;
- Create a 'stig-rhel7-server' profile that aligns to only the rules
shipped by DISA

New subject: EXTERNAL: Incorporating final DISA STIG / Release
It doesn't look like encrypted partitions were in the final STIG.

Am I missing the vulnerability in the STIG, or is the SSG adding security checks to the
